I bet they never knew it when they did it, but vinyl vinyl vinyl.
LP's sound SOOOOOO much better than that digital crap they make now-a-
days. CD's will fail, Tape will wear out, but vinyl is forever. It is
a physical groove cut in plastic. nothing to wear (unless you over
play them). Tapes break, CD's loose dots (lol) Vinyl has been around
for over 100 years, and I can still listen to the original Edison
cylinders, 78's, 33 1/3's and 45's that I heard when I was just a wee
lad.

The bottom line: Sure, there's pain in adopting the Mac. But if I accept
that, I get to use a computer that works, and that pretty much does
what I
expect and want a computer to do.
